I believe every field is different for everybody. For your field, that may work for you. In mine, my “personal luxury car” is getting deals done everyday. Think of real estate agents and financial planners. Everyone’s not going to hit a home run with a plain white or branded vehicle. Thanks for reading!

LOL sound like you sold yourself into a car upgrade.

Most people see white van/truck as the true sign of a business, not a personal luxury car.

I would recommend a brand Cargo Van, or Pick-up preferable white.

This post was pretty beneficial to me. I read it at a time when I was getting pretty frustrated with how slow things were going at the time. It felt pretty good to have that reassurance that I wasn’t alone in feeling like this. Positivity is always a plus…get it

I’ve been to your blog a couple of time and although you are self-admittedly not a prolific blogger, your entries are always very well written and helpful. I commend you for sharing your business experiences for other African Americans to learn from.

I wish you continued success in your business, and blog when you can because it is good and necessary.
